It Was Just Too Big

[M[any of the bill's critics really didn't know everything that's in it. That's because the bill was an incredible 762 pages even before the Senate considered amendments. The bill's sheer length was reason enough to oppose it. No matter one's views on any particular immigration-related issue - border patrol, guest workers, amnesty, etc. - it made far more sense for Congress to consider them separately. Combining these issues into a "comprehensive" bill made it too large for Congress to read and understand fully.
